boaz And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty

man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was]

{Boaz}.

boaz And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field

after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the
field

[belonging] unto {Boaz}, who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech.

boaz And, behold, {Boaz} came from Bethlehem, and said

unto the reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him,
The

LORD bless thee.

boaz Then said {Boaz} unto his servant that was set
over

the reapers, Whose damsel [is] this?

boaz Then said {Boaz} unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my

daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from
hence,

but abide here fast by my maidens:

boaz And {Boaz} answered and said unto her, It hath
fully

been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law
since

the death of thine husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father
and

thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art

come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

b

oaz And {Boaz} said unto her, At mealtime come thou

hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar.
And

she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched [corn],
and

she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.

boaz And when she was risen up to glean, {Boaz}
commanded

his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and

reproach her not:

boaz And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast
thou

gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did

take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with
whom

she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I

wrought to day [is] {Boaz}.

b

oaz So she kept fast by the maidens of {Boaz} to glean

unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt
with

her mother in law.

boaz And now [is] not {Boaz} of our kindred, with whose

maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the

threshingfloor.

boaz And when {Boaz} had eaten and drunk, and his heart

was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn:
and

she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

boaz Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down

there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom {Boaz} spake came by;
unto

whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he

turned aside, and sat down.

boaz Then went {Boaz} up to the gate, and sat him down

there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto

whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he

turned aside, and sat down.

boaz Then said {Boaz}, What day thou buyest the field
of

the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess,

the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his

inheritance.

boaz Therefore the kinsman said unto {Boaz}, Buy [it]
for

thee. So he drew off his shoe.

boaz And {Boaz} said unto the elders, and [unto] all
the

people, Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that

[was] Elimelech's, and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of
the

hand of Naomi.

boaz So {Boaz} took Ruth, and she was his wife: and
when

he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a

son.

boaz And Salmon begat {Boaz}, and Boaz begat Obed,

boaz And Salmon begat Boaz, and {Boaz} begat Obed,

boaz <1KI7 -21> And he set up the pillars in the porch of the

temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name
thereof

Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name
thereof

{Boaz}.

boaz <1CH2 -11> And Nahshon begat Salma, and Salma begat {Boaz},

boaz <1CH2 -12> And {Boaz} begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse.

boaz <2CH3 -17> And he reared up the pillars before the temple,
one

on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the
name of

that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left

{Boaz}.
